Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS) ﻿﻿I created this site out of total frustration at not being able to find any support or information for people who have RADS (Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome) so its been a wonderful help to my sanity to be able to share my experiences as they happen about this unique disease / condition.

This site is a work in progress so please press REFRESH with each visit.

Obviously I wish I didn't have RADS but after a work place incident, where I was exposed to and inhaled noxious chemicals and vapors, I was eventually diagnosed as having RADS. I would love to find a way to get rid of it however it seems it's more about "learning to live with it". Having never had any breathing issues in the past and enjoying a full and active life, all this was very upsetting for me as it was life changing, very isolating and at times life threatening!

Through this website, I am now in contact with another person who has mirrored my experiences with RADS and together we support each other from other sides of the world and share idea's and dreams. If you would like to contact us then we would love to hear from you. Please send us an email and you can download our RADS flyer by clicking here. Please note if we don't get back to you asap we maybe having a bad breathing day .. so please be patient.

Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome or RADS is a term proposed by Stuart M. Brooks M.D. and colleagues in 1985 to describe an asthma-like syndrome developing after a single exposure to high levels of an irritating vapor, fume, or smoke.source from Wikipedia

When I can, I research and try to keep logs and notes of my experiences and I have been living with RADS since 2012, so I hope what is on this site can help someone out there and if you also have RADS then please send an email so we can share notes.
